Hirnant is a fantastic property with stunning views. It is very comfortable and well appointed. Bala Barns are very dog friendly and there are plenty of walks on the property. Sue is a fantastic host, very helpful, and on hand when needed but not intrusive. The location is great for Bala Lake and surrounding areas. Most of North Wales' attractions Read moreare within an hours drive and easy to. This is our second visit but definitely not the last. Hide

The cottage was perfect. Picturesque, warm, comfortable, very clean and well equipped. I particularly liked all the windows, including velux windows in the roof which let in so much light. It had a lot of character, but at the same time was modern, light and airy.
